Luncheon postponed

Well, I did not meet with my friend Sue yesterday for lunch as planned. We have rescheduled for Wed October 29 - hope all goes well and we will actually be able to meet.  I did go to the dentist though and as with every checkup, it went well and I got my free toothbrush and floss haha  With only one insurance plan now though it starts to become a bit expensive. I am now on Harry's plan as I lost all my benefits when I turned 65 - and with his I only get a certain percentage returned.
Today we went to Huntsville to visit the ReStore and to shop at the Independent Grocery Store. I found it to be quite expensive at least compared to our usual places such as No Frills and Freshco. Harry's sister and brother in law shop there and were telling us how great it was.  But there was also a Bin Store called Bin Barn in this Mall area and I had a ball buying things. For example, I bought some "self rising flour" and came home and made pizza - my favourite recipe from Cathy! I wondered if this flour would make a different crust than normal. It turned out great so now I will pick up some more of this flour when I next go near a Bin Barn. Also bought some "quinoa" pronounced "keen-wa". I will cook some for my breakfast to see if I like it. Mike's Erin cooks it and it was from her that I first heard about it.  Sometimes you have to try new things.  Mike goes hunting this Sunday for one week into the bush with his hunting group and staying at their hunt camp. He will take his own food this time rather than last year where they chipped in $ for food and each night someone was designated to be chef. Mike did NOT like this ! He says he'll eat sandwiches and KD all week haha
Nothing but rain here these past few days. Puts an end to outdoor work for awhile. Next week supposed to be sunny so hopefully I can finish off the yard. I haven't raked up any leaves yet and the ground is covered . The big Maple in our front yard is dropping leaves now - although it is a nice picture to see the coloured laves blowing about the yard, someone has to pick them up before winter.
Hope all is well with everyone. Time for bed. Take care
